عانقتُهُ حتى ارتوتْ

عانقتُهُ حتى ارتوتْ

خدَّاهُ مِنْ عينيَّ دَمْعَا

خدَّاهُ مِنْ عينيَّ دَمْعَا

I embraced him until

his cheeks drank their fill of tears from my eyes.

روضُ المحاسنِ خدُّهُ

روضُ المحاسنِ خدُّهُ

مِنْ حقِّهِ يُسقى ويُرعى

مِنْ حقِّهِ يُسقى ويُرعى

The garden of beauties is his cheek;

it deserves to be watered and tended.
